Left-ish, Green-ish, Chocaholic-ish. Views are mine. Sharing doesn't mean endorsement. Live on Ngarrabul land at Gindayagin (Glen Innes) in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. Always was. Always will be. Don't DM without asking.

I'm sure I'm the eleventy millionth person to point this out but if the Rapture lifts all the hardcore evangelicals up to heaven and they're totally happy about it while the rest of us just get to stay down here and carry on without them it's a win-win situation. #GoTheRapture

Wirth a read ... Echidna Defence Strstegy ... strength without aggression.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Aukus will cost Australia $368bn. What if there was a better, cheaper defence strategy?

As questions swirl around the nuclear submarine deal, some strategists are pushing for an alternative, ‘echidna’ policy that focuses less on offensive capability

This is hapoening in state forests across NSW.

Forestry Corp repeatedly under report the number of Greater Glider den trees (they receive protection).

Tell the NSW state gov to stop public native forest logging.

NOT logging is greater value than doing so.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

The fact this young man was allegedly stealing food meant he was hungry

A disabled 24yr Australian man - wealthiest country in the world, resources-wise - was hungry

Let that sink in

If we address that fact it might go a long way to solving deaths in custody

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

So, is Nambucca Heads the new "party town"?

Michael McNamara @mcnamaramp.bsky.social · May 11

To some degree yes. My wife and I handed out for differrnt parties at the election and so many people took HTVs from more than one party. Often they took all that were handing out.

#LNP motto for #Election25

"Stale, Pale, Male, Fail"

#auspol

Michael McNamara @mcnamaramp.bsky.social · May 11

The claim that #Labor only got in on Greens preferences and so owes the #Greens something is a nonsense.

Our preferential voting system lets 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 rank all candidates in their preferred order.

What the results of #Election25 show is that the LNP was less wanted than Labor. #auspol

That is how the Liberal Party started (without the independents lol)

If the #ACL opposes it then it must have value.
